The Change

She was so cheery and happy
There is a change in her now.
She's not mean and snappy
But she's different somehow...

Her laugh used to be the loudest among us all,
Contagious, very musical to the ear.
Now she walks alone in the empty hall,
And lives in distrust and fear...

I smile at her, She looks at me with her empty eyes,
They were warm once, but now they're plain cold.
I try to talk to her, but i get no replies
She's just 18, how come she looks so old?

She stares out the window, but her mind is definitely not there,
I want to see her happy, to hear her sweet laughter,
I want to bring a smile to her face, remove any trace of despair.
Why did it happen to her, that horrible disaster?

Life is unfair, but why to the innocent?
She did nothing wrong, no sin ever!
Always hard working and diligent
Here she is, hurt and scarred forever...

The faith and trust she once had are gone
But i won't give up, I'll bring her back!
I know in God's chess I am a mere pawn.
But I will fill colors into her life, even though now it's just black...

It's Okay to not be Okay...

My heart beats slowly now,
"Don't be sad, smile" they say,
I don't wish to listen somehow,
It's Okay to not be Okay!

I just want to lie down, and do nothin' at all,
Morning and night, all the time in the day,
Their attempts I keep trying to stall,
They don't understand, it's Okay to not be Okay!

They keep talking, more and more and more,
I tell them to leave but they stubbornly stay!
Their chatter now makes my ears sore...
Don't they know? It's Okay to not be Okay!

They try to divert my attention, they ask me NOT to think.
I pretend to be distracted, hoping now they'd go away,
I smile with them while my heart continues to sink,
After all, it's Okay to not be Okay...

In the lonely nights, I stare into the dark,
For a brighter morning, to the Almighty I pray.
Stinging me day and night, the truth is prominent and stark,
But I know, It's Okay to not be Okay...

Life moves on, and so did I,
In someways,that's all I say,
I'm okay now, though I still don't fly...
But I'll always know, It's Okay to not be Okay...

Please Don't Remind Me Again...

I know all good things come to an end,
Please don't remind me again.
I know what message you're trying to send,
But please don't remind me again.
I know what I'm supposed to do,
Please don't remind me again.
I know what this means to you,
But please don't remind me again.
I know what the future will hold,
Please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want to be told,
Yet, please don't remind me again.
I know everything that I should,
Please don't remind me again.
I know all you want is our good,
But please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want to be hurt,
Please don't remind me again.
I know you'd want back your shirt,
But, please, don't remind me again.
I know you're trying to be strong,
Please don't remind me again.
I know my demands here are wrong,
But please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want this love anymore,
Please don't remind me again.
I know why you're walking out that door,
But please don't remind me again.
I know I should try to move on too,
Please don't remind me again.
But I know I still love you,
Please help me undo this pain...

You and Me

Want to lie under the skies in your arms
Protected by love and all possible charms
Under the moon , beneath the bright stars
Unaware of others,of boundaries and bars..
A place with just us, just you and me
No sorrow, nor any misery..
A place with no hurt and no pains,
A place with bright sunshines and heavy rains,
Oh! and there'll be rainbows too,
Just for you and me, for us two..
No room for fuss, there would be just us,
Just us, and our smiles without any purpose,
A place where you and me can be in forever
Happily ourselves, us together.
There would be no hiding, nor any pretense,
No walls between us nor any form of fence..
Our laugh will be the music pure and divine,
I will be yours and you'll be just mine
A place to dance, to sing, to love,
A place to be free, free as a dove...

Is there?

Is there a place where no one needs to fit in?
Where all that matters is what is within?
Is there a place where we can cherish the reality?
Where there is an inherent transition between truth and morality?
Is there a place so blessed, that the air has the fragrance of love?
Where the gracious Gods smile at everyone from up above?
Is there a place of equality, of compassion and of care?
Where smiles and laughs are things that no one minds to share?
I'm sure there is this Heaven on Earth where we'll surely dwell  someday,
And if we can't find it, then for sure, we'll make it ourselves one day...
